Hi,
does anyone produce the XML-based invoice called XRechnung with ConTeXt? I don't know if XRechnung is the european name or only used in Germany?
In German it’s ZUGFeRD, the international name is Factur-X: https://www.pdf-tools.com/pdf-knowledge/zugferd-standard-electronic-invoices...
According to https://www.ferd-net.de/standards/zugferd/, they may even be two different things (but I haven’t checked it).
Yes, sorry, XRechnung is the German federal version of EN-16931 for invoicing public contractees, while Factur-X (F) = ZUGFeRD (D) apparently is a different implementation of the same standard, stemming more from industry standards, that _can_ include XRechnung. Yet another mishmash of norms and standards where probably every implementor only supports a part (just an experienced guess).
I always wanted to implement it, but never actually tried. It’s based on PDF/A, and I’m not sure about the proper workflow to get that.
Someone told some time ago that https://github.com/speedata/publisher implements ZugFeRD. Again, no idea how or to which extent.
I remember talking to someone at a DANTE meeting about an implementation for LaTeX, but I can’t find it on CTAN.
https://zugferd.github.io/ provides more info. Version 2 of ZUGFeRD seems to be Factur-X (according to them).
If you allow me the pun (as a foreigner and non-native speaker), the name seems to be too near to something like »Zug-Pferd« (I know it is nonsense in German, but ZUGFeRD seems the name for an act or a regulation [which German-speaking countries love to do]).
The acronym is not accidental for sure. Somone probably neighed for joy. (Zugpferd = cart horse, draft horse, fig. also top seller) Hraban
